A New Movie to Fave

Last weekend I saw the movie "Once". I LOVED it!! I had never heard of Glen Hansard, but now I'm a fan. He's lovely, as is his costar & collaborator on all the music in the movie, Markéta Irglová. The 2 even won an Acadamy Award in 2008: Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Song) - "Falling Slowly" from this movie. It's a contemporary musical & filmed with a sort of documentary/real life feel. It's just great. Really great.

Ohhhhh, yes. What a great film. When I saw this a year or so ago, I didn't know what to expect. I was just floored by the music, so raw and tender at the same time. And I love the fact that they left the ending sort of open for interpretation. Yes, great. I agree. Really great.
